Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008086989A1] The invention relates to a method for frequency stabilization of quality-switched lasers, with the resonator length being varied over at least half the wavelength of the laser and pulse resolution being set as a function of this measurement; the resonator length is varied (11) over at least two half wavelengths of the laser, and the pulse resolution is set with or after the time of occurrence of a further resonance, referred to as the initiation resonance, corresponding to the resonance condition. The laser (1) includes a seed laser (7), an isolator (8) and a mirror (2) containing a resonator, a quality switch (3) and a device for setting the initiation time (17) of the quality switch (3).
